Relief convoys in Egypt are en route to the Rafah border crossing with Gaza, awaiting the reopening for aid deliveries and foreign nationals seeking evacuation. Israel’s persistent strikes on the Palestinian side of the crossing have hindered access. The convoys, comprised of various aid agencies, have been stationed in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. The European Union advocates for an aid bridge to assist the 2.4 million Gaza residents affected by the conflict. The Israeli military’s ongoing bombardment, launched in response to Hamas attacks, has resulted in significant casualties, compelling urgent humanitarian efforts.
